Wallace and Gromit
This and Thomas the Tank Engine
I forgot that that was british
Fricking how?
Bro there's an American dub. If you grew up with that, it might not be obvious
I thought they had just changed the Shiney time Station segments.
Complete Dub overhaul. Everyone sounded American
Eddie is dead.
Euros 2020: the anime.
Also this.
Would people be interested in seeing another inherently British web series akin to EW, with a bunch of self insert characters getting into stupid scenarios along with cartoonish / amateur visuals to fit?
I think so. Eddsworld was so charming because it was so amateur. Arguably the most soulful piece of animation ever created.
Yes. Especially normie americans, it's sufficiently different enough for Americans to find it fascinating, whilst still being familiar enough for them not too feel out of their depth.
Just look at how garbage like Ted Lasso is adored by Americans because of quirky Bri'ish slurs like, "wanker", whereas most people here find it extremely saccharine and boring.
Eddsworld was really a product of its time though. Most of the jokes they made back then couldn't hold up today.
>Its already been 10 years since Edd died
Tank girl comics?
The Wind in the Willows
Duckula
Soul Music
I prefer the 1995 version because of based Rik Mayall and the Piper at the Gates if Dawn sequence.
Any news on the version Weta was working on? They seemed to be inserting an environmental message.
I want to hug that frog person
Is Hilda considered British?
more based than US Dennis
It's a trick question
That's Spurdoland (Finnish)
Moomin valley
Can 101 Dalmatian Street be considered British?
>not mentioned yet
How??
DEAD AND BURIED
>cartoons
Dennis the Menace. Funnybones. Dangermouse (not the Americanised new shite). Sheeep. Mr. Bean (he had a cartoon, it was meh). Peppa Pig if you're too young to understand words.
Captain Pugwash. The Clangers. Thunderbirds. Captain Scarlet. Pingu. Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids. Spitting Image (modern stuff is basically as good/bad as the old but it's an American-British production). Thomas the Tank Engine (not the modern cartoon, don't touch the CGI either, nor the film).
Aardman is still alive but Wallace and Gromit, and Creature Comforts, have both run their course. Shaun the Sheep is still around I think.
European collaborations like Fantomcat.
The Wind in the Willows has several adaptations, one of which is a drawn film.
Something recent is The Amazing World of Gumball but I think British hands stopped being involved halfway in. It's also just obsessed with American, Japanese and internet culture, and has nothing British about it.
There are standout animated commercials, like Speckled Hen, but I don't know if they're made in the UK or just made for it.
>comics
2000AD.
Beano and the Dandy if you're a child.
Alan Moore got around a lot in American comics.
Some anon here is constantly storytiming WWII and Robin Hood stuff that seemed to be British/Commonwealth prints. I never looked the publisher up.
Children's books such as anything Roald Dahl. People still copy his style today. Don't watch the American-made Fantastic Mr Fox film, it's not British.
Modern stuff is shite mate.
>Aardman's first bad film but the worst you can say about it is it's mediocre,
That's modern Aardman for you. I didn't watch the caveman one because it sounded extremely dull.
>Our accent when on TV just doesn't sound right.....
Not sure what you mean by that. We have a lot of accents. Some media celebrities are awful but I prefer British accents to foreign ones.
Sheeep has some soft southern accents and the woman's one is nice.
How can Creature Comforts run its course?
Regarding the accents, I think it's just conditioning. We grow up learning to associate big budget blockbusters with American accents. "Foreign" accents (even our own) makes it feel lower budget and less important.
But Spider was friggin' amazing any day of the week.
>I think it's just conditioning.
No it's not. Stupid and unintelligent accents sound stupid and unintelligent. Snobbish accents sound snobbish.
>We grow up learning to associate big budget blockbusters with American accents.

You don't watch television or you have been colonised, in which case please emigrate.
When the beeb interviews someone in finances, you should be cringing at the American accents and American words.
When the beeb interviews an American politician, or an advert uses an American celebrity, you should be cringing at their regional dialect because it sounds as bad as a wienerney using celebrity names as slang.
When a telly presenter has a mutated British-American accent that can't decide what it wants to be, you should be cringing.
When an advert hires an American celebrity, you should be cringing.
When something trying to monetise black culture has everyone speaking like dey is in da hood with backwards flipped caps, you should be cringing.
The cookie cutter format, language and cultural reference are American. Watch an episode of the original stuff and you'll perhaps notice it comes from the same country as Monty Python.
Danger Mouse.
Duckula.
I think Ron's gone wrong is british.
Isn't it a Gumball situation where everything is British but the VAs?
it seems so
Oh right.
Man when they do something right they do it frickingly right.
The adult character VAs in Gumball are UK-based. The kids like Gumball and Darwin aren't.
What did you guys think of it? From the trailers I was expecting it to be Aardman's first bad film but the worst you can say about it is it's mediocre, it's actually cute.
I thought it was great.
These two will always be the best though
speaking of Aardman, what is Cinemaphile's opinion on this? I remember going to see it with my little cousins when i was an angsty teen who hated animated stuff but ended up actually really liking it
Overhated by pseudointellectuals, I loved it.
Rewatched it recently and really enjoyed it. Aardman's stuff is really well put together, remember looking at their behind the scenes stuff and all the rigging and layout shit takes fricking forever to do because of how rigorous they are with smoothing out everything. Based studio.
Watched it with a mate.
It was serviceable and the love they put into it was very noticeable.
Wanted to watch the drawn cartoon at the beginning instead of the actual film.
Also wanted to just go and watch ANY pirates of the caribb film again because I was promised pirates and that was the last thing the story wanted to be about.
Haha ham night, haha ghost ship gag, haha modern award show, haha queen Vic is a ninja jack the ripper, haha Charles is such a boffin, haha secret woman, haha dodo, haha albino, haha incompetence.
You sound lame bruv
Lissen blud, you ain't cool just cos you think you is.
have a nice day that aardman pirates movie was fricking hilarious
GOD I LOVE SHAUN
Shaun x Bitzer is one of my guilty pleasures
I love sheep, they're underrated in toons
NOT BRITISH PISS OFF WANKER
FOCKIN NONCE
there's only two kind of angry brits
Animals of Farthing Woods
If you allow animated films:
- Plague Dogs UK/USA
- Watership Down UK
- When the Wind Blows UK
Series:
- Monkey Dust 2003 UK
- Spitting Image
- Thunderbirds
- Captain Scarlet
Less popular:
- Pond Life
- Mongrels 2010
and for comics, I liked these:
- Nao of Brown
- The Motherless Oven and The Can Opener's Daughter, but I haven't yet got around to The Book of Forks
Comics: almost anything by these pic related dudes, Bryan Talbot, Pat Mills, and Dave McKean.
Nao of Brown is pretty good as well.
British TV is some of my favorite. I love Spike Milligan (moslty radio) and Chris Morris.
So, I'm British. British shows are mostly dogshit. I avoid British shows on Netflix... Our accent when on TV just doesn't sound right.....
However I Wiki'd it and picked some:
Dennis the Menace and Gnasher
Fat Dog Mendoza
Funnybones (for very little kids)
Horrid Henry
Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids
Mr. Bean the Animated Series
Oakie Doke (warning: creepy)
Watership Down (LOL)
William's Wish Wellingtons
And it's not listed but this is excellent and I still love it. Meet "Spider":
Yep, you love it, I know. And every single one is good.
>Our accent when on TV just doesn't sound right.....
what
Uncle Grizzly is genuinely one of my favourite characters of all time, and I'm a zoomer who had the pleasure of growing up with the show and being scared of it when I was younger (frick the chocolate fly and that goddamn hoover). Never cared much for the spider though.
I also remember it had a really weird transition period between switching the 2D animation from hand drawn to flash where they put puppet rigs on hand drawn characters.
The scary stories for young foxes adaptation
when it's released
superted
Uhh ackshually that's Welsh
Depending on on preferences and standards pickings are slim
The British are even worse than Americans when it comes to seeing animation as anything other than funny cartoons for kids
Jimmy saville sounded like a riot to be around
>bottom left
I don't get it.
It's Jimmy Kimmel the talk show host...but as a camel, hence Jimmy Camel.
...Laugh.
Who's based in AMERICA therefore makes no goddamn sense to be prominent in Danger Mouse. They couldn't have just done a This Morning parody with, I don't know, Philip Schoeel and Holly Wallaby?
there are none. britain sucks.
You're too late, moron.
this kills the seething nationalist boomer
...?
British stuff can be set in and visit America.
That's not the problem.
Think about it this way, if your Marvel Captain Britain was British, and you're not British but American, you'd probably not like it.
>What are some good Britis-
No.
Way too late, moron.
Triggered limey
Two letters, that's all it takes.
Fleetway Sonic is a lot of fun, in a gonzo, off-the-wall adventure-of-the-week sort of way.
It's Never Coming Home, that's a good one.
